Just by way of comparison, I spoke to a colleague of mine from my engineering days who is working with one of the biggest construction companies in Canada. That company is working on a $1 billion airport contract at the moment but for an overrun on that contract, it is getting $500,000 for preliminaries and he said that figure is at the top end. If there are 25 or 26 extra cranes on site, it might bring it up to €1 million, but €10 million a month is absolutely off the park. How anyone on the board driving this project cannot see that is beyond comprehension, given the experience of board members. It is beyond my comprehension and I was involved in construction for 15 years.

Moving on to the design team, what percentage of the contract is accounted for by its fees?
